AN ORIGINAL JUSTICE,

who Fills his Docket with Com.
mon SENSE. but not with Law.
John Brun and II. johnson, mates OF
vessels, were sentenced by Justice I. B.
Weeks, of Wilmington township, on the
2Sth of January, each to pay $40 fine or
go to jail ten days for malicious mis-.
chief, in having set fire to growing
grass. The defendants at first waived a
jury, but afterwards thought better of it
and demanded a jury trial. This motion
the dispenser of justice from the water
front denied upon the grounds: "That
the defendants had waived jury and
that it would be hardship to the peo.
pie of the town of San Pedro to be
forced to serve on jury duty unnecessa.
rily. as they were called upon already
too often." The prisoners refused, by
advice of their attorney, to pay the fine
and were committed. Yesterday they
were brought to town to serve out their
sentence and Immediately sued out q
writ Of habeas corpus, which was made
returnable before Judge Brunson. The
two mariners were discharged from Gus.
tody, among half dozen reasons, for
the one that the complaint was faulty
and alleged no public offense.

Departure Of Carlisle Terry, J.

Departure Of Carlisle Terry, JY.
Mr.. Carlisle Terry, Jr., will leave to.
day for his home in Columbus. Georgia,
Mr.. Terry has been in charge of the
United States Magnetic observatory in
this city for the PAST four years. His
work is of q character little seen and
still less appreciated by the general pub.
lie, but nevertheless it forms most i'm.
portaut part of the scientific research Of
the United States and of the world. II
is seldom that one SO young as Mr.. Ter.
ry-barely thirty -fve-is entrusted with
work of such magnitudeand Importance.
How we'll he has performed his duties is
attested by the Superintendent of the
Coast and Geoditic Survey, who ranks
Mr.. Terry as one of the very best off.
GERS in the service. and who with reluct-
ance gives him orders to go East. Mr..
Terry has been SO unremitting in his at
tention to the delicate and arduous du.
ties OF his Office as to seriously impair
his health and vacation became imper-
atively necessary. He is q gentleman
sans peur ct sans reproche whom to
know is to admire and love and his de-
parture will leave void in the hearts
of his near friends that will never be
filled while this life lasts, and if He
who doeth all things forIthe best so wills
it that Mr.. Terry revisit these scenes he
will be welcomed by those in whose
hearts he is enshrined forever,

 Give it a fair show and it can smash more dishes than the most industrious servant girl.
 It can fall down oftener and with less prov ocation than the most expert tumbler in tEe country.
 It can make more genuine fuss over simple brass pin than it's mother would over broken back.
 It can choke itself black in the face witf greater ease than the most accomplished wretch that was ever executed.
 It can keepa family in constant turmol from morning till night and night till morning without once varying it's tune.
 It can be relied upon to sleep peacefully all day when it's father is down town and cry consistently at night when he is particularly sleepy.
 It can be the naughtiest. dirtiest, ,ugiiest and most fretful baby in all the world, but you can't make it's mother believe it. and you had better not try it.
 It can be a charming and model ln- fant when no one is around, but when visitors are present it can exhibit more bad temper than both of it's parents to- gether.
 It can brighten up house better than all the furniture ever made; make sweeter music than the finest orchestra organized; fill a larger place in it's parents breasts than they knew they had, and when it goes away it can cause greater vacancy and leave a greater blank than all the world put to- cether

pointed to as prophet, because at Henry O.
 Bowens show July 4, 1879, he said of Litch- field: To-day this beautiful and romantic place, with this history, unparalleled in the annals of the country, and filled and made delightful by all the charms of nature, is hardly more than deserted Auburn, whose memories Goldsmith sung. It is removed from the present lines of travel. It is losing in numbers.

 A letter from Mexico tells now gang of robbers was effectually foiled. While they were ransacking town dozen men ran to the shore, cut small holes ic the boats in which the robbers scame, and plug ged them with mud. The boats were launch ed and the marauders set out on their return voyage. Before going mile, however, the water began to soften the clay, and the huge log dugouts began to fill. Every effort was made to reach the shore, but the openings in- creased rapidly, and soon the boats were full of water and the occupants were obliged to jump overheard and cling to the sides of their submerged crafts to keep from drown ing. About daylight company of 100 men set out in boats to the spot where the half drowned men were still hanging to their crafts. Some, however, had lost their hold were so exhausted that they were to make any resistance. The fishermen attacked them, and soon not robber was left to tell the tale of their defeat. Their booty was all recovered.

IS A NEW ACADEMY NEEDED ?

A
 The government of the United States has established military academy where young men are turned into more or less efficient soldiers, and a naval academy where officers of our woe-begone navy are produced These academies have, it is generally admitted, done their work pretty we'll, and their value was plainly demonstrated when the rebellion broke out and the graduates of them were called on to teach and practice the art of war.
 Professor Herbert Adams of Johns Hop kins university comes forward with the prop osition that what has been a good thing for the military and naval service of this cOun- try would also be good thing for the civil service. He thinks that the government should establish 8 civil service academy, also, on the plan of the others, in which in the departments and in diplomatic and consular posts. They would be instructed in the nature of the government, the consti- tutional Limitations of it's several branches, the machinery of administration, and the varied political, geographical, industrial, SO" cial and economical knowledge relating to our own and other countries, that is desir- able for the officers of the government to possess, besides modern languages, interna- tional law and so forth. The young man trained in this institution could, it is urged, be prepared to be an efficient and valuable subordinate in any of the departments, hay ing an equipment for his work which few men have who first enter the public service, and would be fit for higher duties and re- responsibilities as promotion came to him.
 The idea is plausible one. Of course a man trained for certain work can, other things being equal, do that work better than one who hasn't been trained for it. And il is undeniable that trained diplomatists and consuls would be much better than some of those who now disgrace this country. But l there is room for difference of opinion about the best way to get the training need ed. The Worcester Spy we'll states the ar gument on the other side as follows: Ii I would tend strongly to make the govern
 ment a bureaucracy, which is one of the | most imbecile and exasperating of all forms | of government. On the whole, we get along l pretty well we are, quite as well any ot | our neighbors. The average American citi- | zen takes readily to administrative work in
 the public or private service. Nothing is
 said about the necessity of academies foi
 training young men for railroad manage ment, yet there is no lack of capable men for railroad presidents, superintendents agents, and so forth. They get their train
 ing by practice, and every American citizen l of parts and ambition, whose fancy turns
 that way, has opportunities for practice ir 1 the art of government.
